HP5中第14章里提到了三人組在公共休息室里寫關於木星衛星的論文，然後羅恩收到珀西的信、三人組跟教父聊上而后險些被烏姆裡奇抓住的那一段

 

"Europa's covered in ice, not mice." （在說哈利的論文）

"Jupiter's biggest moon is Ganymede, not Callisto." 

"and it's Io that's got the volcanoes." （給羅恩的論文挑刺）

 

原文是這樣的（我居然還能記住orz），我沒有中文版，現查了號稱是人文版的翻譯居然真是給翻譯成木衛一二三四= =

今天在NASA上看到這麼一篇壓箱底的老文章。大概就是科普性質的那種，用HP來激起大家興趣的，引用的就是上面那幾句話。

那NASA是怎麼說的呢？

 

關於這句"Europa's covered in ice, not mice." 

 

Correct. Jupiter's moon Europa is way too cold for mice: 260째 F below zero. Spacecraft have taken pictures of Europa's icy surface, and it looks totally lifeless

正確。木星的衛星Europa對於老鼠生存下來來說實在是太冷了（後面那個溫度我沒看懂，亂碼了orz）。航空飛機拍下來Europa的照片上顯示出被冰覆蓋的表面，看起來真是一毛不長。

 

 

"Jupiter's biggest moon is Ganymede, not Callisto." 

 

Indeed, Ganymede is the largest moon in the whole solar system. It's slightly wider than the planet Mercury and more than three-quarters the size of the planet Mars. If it orbited the sun instead of Jupiter, Ganymede would surely be considered a planet. 

的確，Ganymede是太陽系中最大的衛星。它比水星稍微大一點點並且差不多是四分之三個火星那麼大。如果這個衛星是繞著太陽轉而非繞著木星轉的話，那它一定能被認為是顆行星。

 

 

"and it's Io that's got the volcanoes."  

 

Right again. Io is even weirder than Europa. Some people say Io, dotted with volcanoes, looks like a pepperoni pizza, and that's about right. Io has more pepperoni-colored volcanoes than Ron Weasley has freckles. At any given moment, dozens of them might be active, spewing the hottest lava in the solar system. The plumes rise 300 miles into space where it's so cold that volcanic ash freezes before it falls back to the ground--sulfurous snow.

又對了。Io比Europa還奇怪。有些人說佈滿火山的Io長得像意大利香腸的披薩，他們說的挺對。Io上意大利香腸狀的火山坑比羅恩·韋斯萊的雀斑還多。在任何指定時刻，至少有好幾打火山在噴發中，噴出全太陽系最熱的熔漿。

羅琳寫書真心挺嚴謹的，雖然不是搞硬科幻的人但在這些小細節上都要做到如此較真，很值得欽佩。
